American society is often characterized as a “guilt culture,†as opposed to non-Western “shame cultures.†But through examples like shaming penalties in criminal law, “fat shaming,†and cyberbullying on the social media, this book shows how and why shame is increasingly invading our lives, leading to feelings of humiliation and depression.
